How to copy a DBCS table onto tape or diskette

 

You can follow these steps to copy a DBCS font table onto a tape or diskettes.

  1. Make sure that you have a tape or diskettes initialized to the *DATA format. If necessary, initialize the tape or diskettes by specifying the FMT(*DATA) parameter on the Initialize Diskette (INZDKT) command. See the Tape Files topic for complete instructions on initializing tapes.

  2. Load the initialized tape or diskette onto the system.

  3. Enter the CPYIGCTBL command as follows:

    1. Choose the value OPTION(*OUT).

    2. Use the DEV parameter to select the device to which you want to copy the table.

    3. Use the SELECT and RANGE parameters to specify which portion of the table you want copied from the system. See the description of the CPYIGCTBL command in the CL topic for instructions on choosing SELECT and RANGE parameter values.
    The following are two examples of the CPYIGCTBL command used to copy a DBCS font table to removable media.

    • To copy the DBCS font table QIGC2424 onto diskettes, enter: 
      CPYIGCTBL IGCTBL(QIGC2424) OPTION(*OUT)  +
  DEV(QDKT)

    • To copy just the user-defined characters from DBCS font table QIGC2424 onto tape, enter: 
      CPYIGCTBL IGCTBL(QIGC2424) OPTION(*OUT)  +
  DEV(QTAP01) SELECT(*USER)

  4. Press Enter. The system copies the DBCS font table onto the specified media.

  5. Remove the tape or diskette after the system finishes copying the table.
